[DAWN] The largest local government elections in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s history were held on Saturday amid sporadic incidents of violence, mismanagement and complicated balloting that left voters confused. The violence claimed five lives in Charsadda. Chief Minister Pervez Khattak held the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) responsible for brawls, violence and chaotic situation at polling stations. “The government had handed over police and security forces to the Election Commission to ensure peaceful elections,” he said while talking to reporters after casting his vote in his native constituency in Nowshera. |
